Cigars don't have to be kept at 70% all the time--some people, including me, find that too moist for many cigars. You may also find you like some cigars at higher RHs and others at lower RHs. You might also notice a difference between humidity from passive (beads) and active (humidifier) sources. But, regardless, the experimentation is part of the fun of the hobby--or at least I think it is.

Man knows whereof he speaks. Two weeks is plenty of time to equlibrate the wood.


Also, fill it up with cigars. A full refrigerator will keep a constant temperature better, as the door is being opened all the time, than an empty one. Fill it up and after the cigars have equilibrated you will have a much more stable reading. If there is a leak, your cigars at 60% won't suffer.
